• Prepare basic calibration standards and perform routine instrument calibration.
• Conduct preventative maintenance and basic troubleshooting of laboratory instruments.
• Evaluate test results, verify data accuracy, and document findings.
• Monitor analytical systems and escalate issues as appropriate.
• Maintain accurate laboratory records and follow established safety and operating procedures.
• Identify opportunities to improve laboratory processes and tools.

Environmental & Field Operations

• Perform environmental sampling and testing.
• Conduct waste-treatment pond rounds and support pond operations.
• Assist with salty water and sludge truck scheduling and loading.
• Support sump routing and stormwater handling activities.
• Clear or unplug lines and filters as needed.
• Operate valves and perform basic hands-on operational tasks.
• Follow environmental, health, safety, and site operating procedures.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Experience in laboratory testing, manufacturing, environmental operations, or a related technical field.
• Chemistry or related coursework is preferred.
• Basic understanding of laboratory safety, sample handling, testing procedures, and instrumentation.
• Willingness to perform both laboratory and outdoor operational duties.
• Ability to perform basic equipment troubleshooting and hands-on tasks.
• Strong attention to detail, documentation, and safety practices.
• Adaptability and willingness to support multiple site functions.

Physical & Work Environment Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds.
• Ability to climb an approximately 15-foot ladder multiple times per shift.
• Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions, including heat and rain.
• Comfort working around industrial environmental and waste-treatment operations.

Schedule & Interview Process

• 4:30 AM start time.
• Rotating 12-hour shifts supporting seven-day site operations.
• One onsite interview, including a facility walkthrough and panel interview.

Candidates should be comfortable with the physical requirements, outdoor work, and rotating schedule before applying.

Apply today if you have laboratory, environmental, wastewater, or industrial operations experience and are interested in a hands-on technical opportunity that combines lab testing with fieldwork.
